December 13, 1939 Dear Igor, I am with you in such emotion and tenderness in these days of memorializing. I wanted to go and bring flowers to Mika’s grave on the 30th but I was unsuccessful, I couldn’t go out. But how I think of Her, of Catherine, of your Mother—and how I love you in Them, [as] I love them in you. It is necessary, so as to honor their memory, that you carry on yourself. It was in understanding God’s will, finding strength still, even in your pain. But your heart’s fatigue felt itself carried away by your spirit, by it alone. It’s so beautiful to act, again and until the final hour. I know what you did there. Your radiance and that which you brought to this young girl, anxious to understand you, wishing to be guided by you, illuminated the clarity of your spirit. Good will creates such utopias—and even more ideology. The nineteenth century played with people’s minds by creating false values. The most absurd conception of art, and from there, even the deformation of the physical [body]—eyes that couldn’t see, ears that no longer knew that music is about sound. Your role is limitless. Your action—because through works and words you’ve brought the house back into order. On the one hand sometimes roughly, but . . . the reaction will only be better. I have just written to Miss Holl (Longy School) to confirm to her my desire to come next year. This year I do not wish to leave France. I hope this will happen—and that you will still be there. I’m going to Paris next week and count on seeing Vera. Fondly and wholeheartedly, Your Nadia B. � Boulanger à Stravinsky Les Maisonettes Gargenville S.O. 13 décembre 1939 Cher Igor, Avec quelle tendresse et quelle émotion je suis avec vous, dans ces jours de souvenir. Je voulais aller porter des fleurs sur la tombe de Mika le 30—mal réussi, je n’ai [pas] pu sortir. Mais comme je pense à Elle, à Catherine, à votre vieille Maman——et comme je vous aime en Elles, si [et] les aime en vous. C’était prolonger leur ne que de poursuivre la vôtre [sic]. C’était comprendre la volonté de Dieu, que de trouver des forces encore, dans votre douleur même. Mais la fatigue de votre cœur à se sentir emporté encore par votre esprit, par lui-même. C’est si beau d’agir, encore et jusqu’à la dernière heure. Je sais ce que vous avez fait là-bas. Votre rayonnement, et ce que vous avez apporté à cette jeunesse anxieuse de vous comprendre, désirer d’être guidée par vous—éclairée par la clarté de votre esprit. La bonne volonté crée de telles utopies—et plus encore l’idéologie. Le XIXé s’est joué des esprits, en créant des fausses valeurs. La plus absurde conception de l’art, et delà, la déformation même physique—des yeux qui ne voient plus, des oreilles qui ne savent plus que la musique est du son. Votre rôle est sans limites. Votre action—car, par les œuvres et les paroles, vous avez réunis la maison en ordre. D’une main parfois rude mais . . . . la réaction n’en sera que meilleur. Je viens d’écrire à Miss Holl (Longy School) pour lui donner une confirmation de mon désir de venir l’an prochain. Cette année je voudrais ne pas quitter la France. J’espère que cela se réalisera—et que vous serez encore là. Je vais à Paris la semaine prochaine, et compte bien voir Vera. Je vous embrasse et suis d’un cœur Fidèle votre Nadia B. � 1939 Author: Nadia Boulanger Catherine Stravinsky Nadia Location: Gargenville Recipient: Igor Stravinsky Vera Stravinsky https://digex.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/b86b1508664770f67b0596e728326146.pdf 385f386e9ffb827c9593eab746dd4d63 https://digex.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/a32eaf7803dfde2049e22b2d6d9a8d98.pdf f994d07a88a8be9afa7d21b6cad26777 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Mademoiselle Nadia Boulanger 36 rue Ballu Paris 9th, France April 18, 1940 My very dear Nadia, I am feeling an irresistible urge to write you, be it only a couple of lines. I hope that you are aware of the news of my marriage to Vera (civil for the moment, in observance of the Orthodox Lent) about which I had sent a telegram to Paris, but I wanted to announce it to you personally. We had to celebrate it earlier than first planned, but the tactlessness of the press since Vera’s arrival in America and my terrible solitude (despite my numerous occupations) made me decide to have her come from Charleston (where she was staying at some friends’) to Boston* to get married—which was done on March 9 in Bedford, 30 km from here, at the house of some Russian friends (a Harvard professor), in the country. A month ago, under the auspices of our ambassador, with the skillful and influential aid of Mr. and Mrs. Bliss, I succeeded in giving a chamber concert in New York benefiting French musicians affected by the war that was successful both from a financial and an artistic point of view. You and Mme Loudon should already be in possession of the large sum of $2,640 that was collected and that the good Mrs. Bliss told me about. I am very proud of this and very happy that it is you, along with Mme Loudon, who are responsible for the distribution, as I was able to understand it from Mrs. Bliss’ letter. We are very distressed by the events, although fully confident in the outcome of this gigantic struggle with evil. I very much want to have some news from you, dear friend—direct news. Sister Edward whom I saw in Chicago had some and not me! We leave for Los Angeles (143 So. Gramercey C/O Dr. A. Kall) in May where we will spend the summer and probably the autumn. Word from you would fill me with joy. Your I. Str. *Where we are living at this moment—the Hotel Hemenway—until the end of my work at Harvard (May 5) [P.S.] Hugs and kisses, dear Nadia—Vera � Stravinsky à Boulanger Igor Stravinsky Hotel Hemmenway [sic] Boston, Mass, U.S.A. Mademoiselle Nadia Boulanger 36 rue Ballu Paris 9ème , France – Très chère Nadia, J’éprouve un besoin irrésistible de vous écrire ne serait-ce que quelques lignes. J`espère qu’on vous a fait savoir la nouvelle de notre mariage avec Vera (pour le moment—civil, vu le grand carême orthodoxe) dont j’ai câblé à Paris, mais j’avais envie de vous l’annoncer personnellement. On a du [sic] le célébrer plus tôt qu’on me le projetait primitivement, mais l’indiscrétion de la presse depuis l’arrivée de Vera en Amérique et ma terrible solitude (malgré mes nombreuses occupations) m’ont décidé de la faire venir de Charleston (où elle s’installa chez des amis) à Boston* pour nous marier—ce qui été fait le 9 mars à Bedford, à 30 km d’ici chez des amis russes (professeur à Harvard), à la campagne. Il y a un mois, sous les hospice [sic] de notre ambassadeur, avec l’aide habil [sic] et puissante de Mr. et Mme Bliss j’ai réussi à donner un concert de chambre à New York au profit des musiciens français éprouvé [sic] par la guerre qui a réussi aussi bien pecunirement[sic] qu’un point de vue artistique. Vous et Mme Loudon devez déjà être en possession de la somme importante de $2640 qu’on a recueillie et dont m’a fait part la bonne Mme Bliss. J’en suis très fier et très heureux que c’est vous avec Mme Loudres qui vous charges [sic] de la distribution comme j’ai pu le comprendre de la lettre de Mme Bliss. Nous sommes très angoissé [sic] par les événements quoique pleins de confiance dans l’issue de cette gigantesque lutte avec le mal. J’ai tellement envie d’avoir de vous [sic] nouvelles, chère amie, des nouvelles directes. Sister Edward que j’ai vu[e] à Chicago en avait et moi non! Nous partons pour Los Angeles (143 so.

You understand that on this sorrowful anniversary I have felt an infinite affection and it is through this feeling that we are connected to one another. To tell you that I am unhappy wouldn’t be the truth. I’ve settled quickly, I will even say instantly, to this difficult life that I didn’t know before. It’s a curious thing—it makes you discover certain neglected feelings, unexpected reactions. Good health sustains me, without which I doubt I could do the harder exercises. My superiors are attentive and intelligent, which is so important. So, I cannot complain about anything and I thank God for that. As always, with affectionate thoughts and a faithful heart, I am with you more than ever Dear Mademoiselle. I am fondly, Your Sviétik [P.S.] You would give me such pleasure by sending me a book. Thank you a thousand times for having suggested it to me. � Soulima Stravinsky à Boulanger Cosne le 21 décembre 1939 Très chère Mademoiselle, Je savais que vous étiez avec nous ce jour de triste et si tendre mémoire.

Je me suis fait très vite, je dirai même tout de suite à cette vie dure que je ne connaissais pas encore. Chose curieuse—elle vous fait découvrir une quantité de sentiments ignorés, des réactions inattendues. La santé très bonne me fait supporter sans que je m’en doute des exercices les plus durs. Mes chefs sont attentifs et intelligents ce qui est si important. Je ne puis donc me plaindre de rien et me rend grâces à Dieu.

We have just settled in in Sancellemoz, because, unfortunately, my father-in-law, given his generally weakened state caused by the dreadful days he had just endured, had another pulmonary embolism, like the one he had two years ago in America. The doctors said he needed to treat it most seriously, and to be rested and well [he must] submit to this isolation. He has therefore moved his headquarters here, where he can work in the greatest tranquility without the thousand worries and preoccupations there are in the city—He will promote his European tours from here. As for my sister-in-law, Milène and myself, we both greatly needed rest and have come to live close to him. Théodore is also with us. Now he is in the best condition for his work. Just think, dear Mademoiselle, how hard it was to cut the family in two, but there was no other solution. So Nini stayed in Paris with his grandmother and Madubo. They are understood to be leaving the Faubourg apartment which is linked to too many dreadful memories (and would also be too expensive). All three of them are going to go live in our small apartment on rue Antoine Chantin. My father-in-law finds himself forced to abandon his American tour for next December, even though this has resulted in many weighty concerns for him, but this time it is necessary that he follow the doctor’s orders completely in order to recover fully. I know how precious your time is but I also know how happy my father-in-law would be to have news from you, if that were possible, and I ask you to believe, Dear Mademoiselle, in my deepest and most respectful affection, Denise Strawinsky. P.S. As a matter of course, as far as Durkheim’s concerned, to whom I have just written, my father-in-law is not telling anyone he is obligated to take a restorative break . . . � Denise Strawinsky à Boulanger Sancellemoz Haute-Savoie France 23 mars [19]39 Chère Mademoiselle, Si je me permets de vous écrire c’est que mon beau-père, qui a été affreusement éprouvé par le terrible malheur qui vient de nous arriver, n’est pas en état de pouvoir écrire et m’a demandé de le faire à sa place et de vous dire combien il a été profondément touché de votre lettre. Nous venons de nous installer à Sancellemoz, car hélas, mon beau-père a eu un nouvel accident pulmonaire, comme celui qu’il a eu il y a deux ans en Amerique [sic], étant donné son état général affaibli, par les atroces jours qu’il vient de passer. Les médecins ont dit qu’il fallait prendre la chose avec le plus grand sérieux pour arriver avec la repos et le bon air, à envoyer complètement cette isolation. Il a donc forcé son centre d’attache ici où il peut travailler dans la plus grande tranquillité sans les milles soucis et préoccupations qu’il y a en ville—D’ici il rayonnera pour ses tournées Européennes. Quant à ma belle-sœur Milène et à moi nous avions toutes deux grand besoin de repos et sommes venues vivre ici près de lui, Theodore est aussi avec nous. Or il est dans les meilleures conditions pour son travail. Vous pouvez penser, chère Mademoiselle, combien il a été dur de couper la famille en deux, mais il n’y avait pas d’autre solution. Nini est donc resté à Paris avec sa grand- mère et Mademoiselle, ils ont bien entendu quitter l’appartement du Faubourg où trop d’atroces souvenirs sont liés [et les frais en seraient aussi beaucoup trop considerables]. Ils vont aller vivre tous trois dans notre petit appartement avec Antoine Chantin. Mon beau-père se voit dans l’obligation de renoncer à sa tournée en Amerique [sic] pour décembre prochain, bien que cela entraine [sic] de très lourds soucis pour lui, mais il faut cette fois-ci qu’il suive entièrement les prescriptions du médecin pour arriver à un rétablissement absolu. Je sais combien votre temps est précieux mais je sais aussi combien mon beau-père serait heureux d’avoir de vos nouvelles [si cela est possible] et je vous demande de croire, chère Mademoiselle, à ma très respectueuse et profonde sympathie. Denise Strawinsky. P.S. Bien entendu, à part Durkheim, à qui je viens d’écrire, mon beau-père ne dit absolument à personne qu’il est obligé de ce [repos] séjour… � 1939 Author: Denise Stravinsky Denise Stravinsky Denise Strawinsky Durkheim Location: Sancellemoz Madubo Milène Stravinsky Mina Svitalski Nini Recipient: Nadia Boulanger Soulima Stravinsky Théodore Stravinsky Theodore Strawinsky https://digex.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/6cefaed0d1e214a3bebd043bb9be3027.pdf 0d98c88a9e4e9fe857d2e0852f53fc8f https://digex.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/becd7339d8612b9b0300ae8af675cc96.pdf ccb2901d03c2f202dd85e5898b3d8dfa Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I cannot tell you how moving his attitude is. Not only does he understand but he tells me that everyone here shares in your pain with a deep affection. At his office, the orchestra, the staff, the musicians, the managers; everyone understood—and we are truly looking forward to your coming next year because we need you, Igor Strawinsky. Because then we will know—your presence will prove that your worries have passed and that your wife is better. I knew it would be so, [but] I didn’t think to such an extent—all the better for them! Arrived yesterday morning and am struggling amidst so many things [to do]. How foolish this is becoming—but my heart remains there, and you know what a large place [you hold in it]! Fond wishes to you and your mother, Catherine, and I am, Dear Friend, your Nadia [P.S.] Sorry for the haste, but the Aquitania leaves tomorrow morning. � Boulanger à Stravinsky 3 janvier 1939 Cher ami, Copley sort d’ici. Je ne peux vous dire combien son attitude est touchante. Non seulement il compris [sic] mais il me dit que chacun ici prend part à votre peine, dans un profond sentiment d’affection. A son bureau, l’orchestra, les petits employés, les musiciens, les managers, tout le monde a compris—et l’on attend doublement votre venue l’an prochain, parce que l’on a besoin de vous, Igor Strawinsky—parce que l’on sait qu’alors [sic], votre présence prouvera que vos inquiétudes sont passées que votre femme va mieux. Je savais que ce serait ainsi, je ne croyais pas à ce degré là [sic], tant mieux pour eux ! Arrivée hier matin je me débats au milieu de tant de choses. Que c’est à devenir fou—mais mon cœur est resté là-bas, et vous savez quelle grande place ! Je vous embrasse, j’embrasse votre Maman, Catherine et je suis, Cher Ami, votre, Nadia [P.-S.] Pardon de cette hâte, mais l’Aquitania part demain matin. � 1939 Author: Nadia Boulanger Catherine Stravinsky Recipient: Igor Stravinsky
